Your goals lead the way
Build confidence through real experiences
Community participation is most useful when it reflects real life. A support worker can help plan the outing, work through accessibility or communication needs and provide the level of assistance agreed with you.
The goal is not to take over. We support you to make choices, communicate preferences, try practical skills and take part at a pace that feels comfortable.
Practising choices and everyday tasks in familiar Penrith places can make community goals more relevant to the participant’s real life.

Before an outing, we confirm the destination, transport arrangements, accessibility, personal expenses, communication needs, risks and the level of support included in the service agreement.
We use a participant-first approach: you help choose the priorities, the people involved and the setting that feels most useful. Support Coordinators and Plan Managers are welcome to contact us with the participant’s consent.
02
Using your NDIS plan for community access
Community access support may be funded through Core Supports under Assistance with Social and Community Participation, or through a relevant Capacity Building support when the activity focuses on developing independence and skills. Funding can only be used for NDIS supports that are included in the plan and align with the participant’s goals.
Important funding detailView less+
Ordinary personal expenses—such as meals, tickets, shopping and standard activity entry fees—are generally paid by the participant, not from NDIS support funding.
Meta Healthcare can explain its service and pricing, but the NDIA decides what is funded. Please check the current plan and official NDIS guidance for your circumstances.
